Reviews and recommendations

REVIEW:
ISRP Preliminary Review (ISRP 99-2)

Recommendation:
Fund for one year

Date:
Jun 15, 1999

Comment:

Recommendation: Fund for one year. Subsequent funding contingent on provision of results. This proposal may have been adequate for multi-year review cycle if they had provided a better description of results to date.

Comments: This project proposes to enhance already acquired wetlands for conservation to increase wildlife abundance, maintain existing enhancement measures, and monitor and evaluate in terms of wildlife abundance past and proposed enhancement activities. The project is not land acquisition (that was done in 1992 and 1997) but restoration/enhancement, operations, and monitoring. Enhancement procedures are designed appropriately for specific habitat types, and all past and present activities are to be thoroughly monitored. When monitoring indicates a failure to meet project objectives modification will be enacted. This is a logical and rational approach. A drawback of this proposal is that it does not consider potential conflicts of obtaining project objectives with fisheries mitigation projects in the area. However, this appears to have been a successful project.

The proposal quality was good, in the midrange of those reviewed. The proposal references the FWP and several other statements and plans. It is related to two other projects (920611, 9004401). It involves two tribes and IDFG as a working group. There have been good accomplishments since 1991. There is good background, rationale, and relationships to other projects. The good project history shows good planning and agency cooperation. Objectives, methods, and facilities are fine. The budget seems reasonable. There are good resumes of staff. This could be a good candidate for multi-year funding.

The primary shortcoming of the proposal is the failure to provide data on the target species using the site. After over 7 years, it is poor to say they still do not have a management plan. What's the plan here for M&E? What are the milestones? It is pretty far into the project to be presenting so little monitoring and evaluation information.
